摘要 英国当局未能承认或有效应对与工作相关的癌症的流行。政府的健康与安全执行局 (HSE) 低估了暴露人群、这些暴露所面临的风险以及预防的潜力。 HSE 未能承认职业癌症风险的社会不平等，这种风险主要集中在体力劳动者和较低的就业级别，或者这些群体更有可能多次接触与工作相关的致癌物。它继续忽视对女性来说基本上未经调查和未优先考虑的风险，目前既没有减少工作中致癌物质、过程和环境的数量和数量的要求也没有策略。其结果是，英国每年面临至少 20,000 例、甚至可能超过 40,000 例与工作相关的癌症新病例，导致数千人死亡，每年给经济造成 295 亿至 590 亿英镑的损失。本文概述了 HSE 方法的缺陷，并提出有效解决英国职业癌症危机的建议。
Abstract The U.K. authorities are failing to acknowledge or deal effectively with an epidemic of work-related cancers. The government's Health and Safety Executive (HSE) underestimates the exposed population, the risks faced as a result of those exposures, and the potential for prevention. The HSE fails to acknowledge the social inequality in occupational cancer risk, which is concentrated in manual workers and lower employment grades, or the greater likelihood these groups will experience multiple exposures to work-related carcinogens. It continues to neglect the largely uninvestigated and unprioritized risk to women and currently has neither a requirement nor a strategy for reducing the numbers and volumes of cancer-causing substances, processes, and environments at work. The result is that the U.K. faces at least 20,000 and possibly in excess of 40,000 new cases of work-related cancer every year, leading to thousands of deaths and an annual cost to the economy of between £29.5bn and £59bn. This paper outlines flaws in the HSE's approach and makes recommendations to address effectively the U.K.'s occupational cancer crisis.
